General Education Requirements for School of Dance

The typical course load for UNCSA college students pursuing the Bachelor of Fine Arts
is two academic courses each semester. Depending on your academic background your
first year you will be assigned a section of ENG 1101: Composition I for the Fall
Semester that fits your dance schedule. In addition, you need to select another Division
of Liberal Arts requirement. In spring you will complete the Composition sequence
with ENG 1102: Composition II AND choose an elective that fulfills a remaining DLA
requirement. If you come in with transfer credit for ENG 1101: Composition I you may
choose to take ENG 1102: Composition II or the ENG 1200: Writing About, which may
be taken to fulfill the Composition II requirement. SCI 1110: Nutrition and Personal
Health is recommended as the Math or Science requirement. Outside of these courses,
your Liberal Arts advisor will help you to choose appropriate classes that meet the
requirements for your degree program.
